GDT: 2017 ALDS: (1) Cleveland Indians vs (WC1) New York Yankees

[Marc the Habs Fan]

A fitting way to end it.

Congrats to the Yanks. I did pick them to win. It's a better team than the record indicates.

 

[Belieber]

The New York Yankees have done it! They should've won 4 games this series, they were the better team!

 

[EpochLink]

Got em!

Cleveland collapse complete.

 

[Emperoreddy]

ITS WHAT YOU WANT!!!

 

[John Price]

Cleveland blew a 3-1 and 2-0 lead.

[John Price]

ITS WHAT YOU WANT!!!

THE CLEVELAND INDIANS ARE NOW ELIMINATED FROM WORLD SERIES CONTENTION. REPOST THIS TO SEAL THEIR FATE

 

[EpochLink]

Cleveland blew a 3-1 and 2-0 lead.

Now the million dollar question, will Lebron cheer for his childhood team Yankees now?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Sucks for the Indians

Astros may be a bigger test for the Yankees. But I don’t think the Astros pitching is quite there yet. If it is though. Astros got the ws on lock imo

Yankees prob win the ws this year

 

[Terry Yake]

another indians choke

break the AL longest win streak record-lose in the first round. A's in 02 and now the indians

 

[Reality Check]

I had Cleveland losing to Houston anyhow. While good, they still feasted on an awful AL central. Especially in September.

Overrated.

I'm also in agreement with whoever said Cleveland is lucky they made it to a game 5.

 

[Machinehead]

@EC09 I wanna shake your hand, bud.

Indians are a great team, and you have my respect.

 

[Blitzkrug]

This one probably hurts the Indians fans a lot more than last year's loss did.

Last year the Indians were playing with house money. No one expected them to go far with a tattered starting rotation and a lackluster offense. They came within one win of winning the World Series, yet people didn't expect them to get that far and were along for the ride.

This year though? They had expectations. A top of the league rotation, offense and defense. All of which was for naught.

As for the Yankees, they likely face a tougher task in the Astros. A obnoxiously good offense like that might actually mildly threaten the Yankees pitching depth unlike the Indians.

look at the bright side Indian fans, we are all happy you helped do in Simmons

 

[Virtanen18]

Girardi bought himself another year probably.

What was Edwin expecting in the 9th?

 

[EC09]

You too man. Sorry if anything I said went too far. All in good fun, hopefully.

Well, my October schedule just opened up wide.

No way, man. You're good. This is what it's all about.

Even though I don’t like the Yankees, screw Bill Simmons.

A fitting way to end it.

The only reason they didn't win the AL East was because Boston had that absurd record in extra innings. They probably would have won the division if not for the Devers 9th inning HR off Chapman in August.

I mean, they did have a worse record than the Diamondbacks, but that's why they play the game.s

 

[Machinehead]

Kahnle, Robertson, and Frazier not Yankees at the start of the year.

Gregorius had in a steal trade.

Green had in a steal trade.

Hicks had in a steal trade.

Flipped Chapman to restock the farm and signed him back.

The Aaron Judge pick.

This night was a culmination of brilliance by Brian Cashman.

The Astros feasted on the AL West (and the awful NL East in interleague) most of the year. How did that work out for them?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Gotta say I actually thought this might have been Indians year

Surprised they put up so little fight. Yet another postseason failure for fans in Cleveland to remember for lifetime
